RT @GunnelsWarren: Bernie has a 30-year record of fighting not just to prevent Social Security from being cut, but to expand benefits for senior citizens, veterans & people with disabilities. Biden has a 40-year history of working with the GOP to try to cut Social Security. We break it down here⬇️ https://t.co/6XJhLhVRUz
For months on end, my friends @JulianCastro and @CoryBooker asked for the DNC debate rules to change so that a more diverse set of candidates could appear on stage. The @DNC said no. They insisted the rules could not be changed while the campaign was in motion. This is CRAZY. https://t.co/KnDWkP4TFV
RT @ggreenwald: Next step is to set a price for Bloomberg to pay to officially change the name to the “Mike Bloomberg DNC.” Remember all the bullshit about how rigidly set the rules were & changes were impossible to permit people like Cory Booker, Castro & Tulsi to participate? https://t.co/MvKkRbgBwd
RT @EmmaVigeland: So now that Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner, the DNC is changing its debate rules mid-primary, eliminating the small donor threshold to let Bloomberg buy his way onto the stage. Bloomberg’s surrogates are openly admitting he’s running as a Sanders spoiler. Here we go again. https://t.co/WqGTuQijKo

RT @meaganmday: Most campaign staffers treat the job as a career stepping stone, while their volunteers treat it as a hobby or community service.

RT @shaunking: @BernieSanders 10. What's clear to me is that the unofficial pact between the Warren campaign and the Sanders campaign to not attack each other is off. It has been destroyed. Irreparably. 11. Bernie is so decent, earnest, and ethical that he will not throw low blows in response to low blows.
RT @shaunking: @BernieSanders 9. The Warren campaign and their allies leaked this attack against Bernie to the press for political gain. I spoke to the journalists who wrote some of the first stories and they confirm this. CNN confirmed this publicly yesterday. The Warren campaign does not deny this.
RT @shaunking: @BernieSanders 7. Staffers from Warren's campaign told me that she routinely embellishes stories. They said the same thing to others who asked. 8. People who spoke to Bernie/Warren after their 2018 meeting told The Washington Post that Bernie did not say a woman could not win the presidency.
RT @shaunking: @BernieSanders 4. Another woman running for President in 2020 says she also met with Bernie before running & he was nothing but encouraging. 5. Bernie is thought to be the single most honest political leader in the country. I found 13 polls that say this. 6. Bernie says he did not say it.
RT @shaunking: @BernieSanders 1. @BernieSanders is on record saying a woman could win the presidency for at least 32 years. 2. Bernie asked Elizabeth Warren to run in 2015. Only ran when she said no. Writes about it in his book from 2018. 3. Bernie endorsed & campaigned in 60 events for Hillary in 2016.
RT @aaronjmate: CNN just aired the post-debate Sanders-Warren exchange. Both accuse the other of calling the other a liar. Warren intitiated.
